Every revision is taking away "a tiny bit" of info,

no wonder a generation later we have adults (aka former students) becoming more intolerant/racists and totally oblivious to the contributions of all the races is what makes Malaysia today.

I was reading a comments in one of those Lembah Bujang temple where old timers say it's always been known before arrival of Islam in Malaya, there was Hinduism and local Animism. A lot of sesat people refuted him say since time immemorial Islam has always been the religion here.

Either these commenters skip Sejarah class or the syllabus has changed recently.

Singapore shares and has same historical docs.

Historians are suppose to share findings, but not deviate much ....interpretations could be blurred, but the end results should mostly be mutual.
Because 3 things remains....new evidence and societal shift (ie: technology DNA to prove and relate to evidence...etc)

ie: Singapore was "kicked-out" from Malaya or "mutual consent", are written on different history books.

Do, historians between these countries "sync"?...yes, they do (in other words, do they have communications with each other education aspect)....in fact collaboration of findings and evidence changes...helps both countries revise better and accurate history events...

If to say, which culture found building ships and could fly is "history"....this country history is incredible...instead of credible.


note: update the content ( ), to state sync...does not relate both needs to be "same" agreement.

Singapore is another country. Why do we care what is in their history books. Our concern is our own history books and what is being taught in schools. Do you really think Singapore history books teach the same thing as us?

for yap ah loy, all i can remember he was a person of significance in kuala lumpur (may have mentioned that he was a gangster aka triad). can't remember exactly what the history text mentioned about him, cept that he was a man of influence at the time in KL.

dude, i just explained...if you were snoozing.

Nobody is "showing off". Education is ALSO about embracing other information , to fact check ,to discuss and to evaluate .... not limit oneself to a single true testament. Even you can see medical publications , which is science.

Anyway, decide on your own. I can only say...don't limited your scope in knowledge over pride.

sigh....why is there a distortion in the first place?.

mostly becoz if those are of a singular account, that probably has not fact-checks, no newer evidences....or even if interpretations has been challenge in an internationally community.

Obviously, when you say "distortion", it would refer to "revision" of the history.


ANND...for the whatever brain cells left in you.....IS my opinion, why history needs to be communal....Singapore shares closest that to us....ie: British colonial education days...

So, what am I missing that you are so displease that Singapore does not have any history related to Malaysia that also doesn't make sense to be fact check along with Malaysia's?

And from your previous think thought... "Why Singapore needs to be included".....is one of the many reasons why distortion or revision history without proper fact check occurs....

It's about how our history books are distorted. Do you agree or not?

-Problem is not just silent historians - it’s that Malaysia turned history into a political weapon for decades.
Every govt, party & ideological group cherry-picks history to suit their narrative while uncomfortable truths get buried.
Younger generation grows up confused - not knowing whether to trust textbooks, politicians, TikTok or activists.
Mature nation does not fear historical debate. It fears propaganda pretending to be history.

Wow, now the history book was changed so much! It was different from what I learned in school time.

What I learned in school last time

1) Parameswara son converted to Islam, because he married with a muslim princess from Acheh.
